Olympus SP 570 UZ Digital Camera Review
Mar 9, 2010 Digital Cameras
The Olympus SP-570 Digital Camera 10 megapixels with a 20x optical zoom. This is the longest lens currently on a digital Camera consumer.
Why buy the Olympus SP-570?
I think I am stating the obvious when I say the main attraction of the SP-570 is the long zoom lens. This length zoom, a rule is useful for animal and sport themes. In addition to the length of the lens, the camera also offers manual exposure controls. For all those who have given the use of an SLR camera you are interested to learn that the lens is extended and drag by turning the lens rather than the typical method of buttons on the back of the camera.
As might be expected with an objective of this size, the SP-570 offers image stabilization. The lens has a focal length equivalent to 26 – 520mm in 35mm format. This makes the wide angle lens, making it ideal for shooting wide scenes such as landscapes. The device also comes with a set of manual exposure controls. Therefore, this device is a good choice for someone who sees photography as a hobby.

Olympus SP-570 test firing
Outdoor 1 (Medium Zoom)
The SP-570 certainly handles indicate the colors more vivid in this recording, with great detail in vessels and also in white wooden slats under the roof of the building.
It is also a very high level of detail shown in some of the lightly shaded areas. Development is clear with the masonry of the building and right edges.
The colors are softer, they feel, as many digital Cameras I’ve tested recently.
Outdoor 2 (no zoom)
This is just another effort. Emphasis is placed on taking into account the distance between camera and stage. You can also show the advantage of a wide angle lens with a lot of the scene in the recording.
Outdoor 3 (Maximum Zoom)
With the lens at its maximum capacity is zoomed very clear purple fringes. It is more of a problem when taking photos with luminous objects in the scene, killed while in the test vessels. As with many Cameras, offering extreme length of the lens focusing ring to lose its sharpness when the lens is fully extended. Shooting
Outdoor 4 (Building)
In this test, the SP-570 meshes well with the scene. As I expected the picture is clearer and the camera is no problem on the walls of the building.
Outdoor Portrait There is no problem with sharpness and color in this picture. When you see the result, the shadow is darker than you want, you can try to use Flash to make these areas.
Indoor Portrait with Flash This is another very targeted effort. The flash is very powerful and clear areas of the face.
Portrait without flash indoors
For me, the most striking image of all my test shots. The SP-570 is capable of using available light to produce a natural looking image. Brightness and definition are better than the vast majority of cameras are able to manage. This is one of the advantages of working with a camera, an important goal.
colors produced in most cases, the colors produced by digital camera Olympus quieter and less dynamic than most other brands. There are cases where I want more punch to see the colors, but it’s a matter of personal taste.
Macro This is another area where I am by the brightness of the device is able to show in the photo, impressed. Levels of detail are not allowed to be top drawer though. A touch of purple skirt, which also shows where the light catches on the edge of the clock.
ISO 400 and ISO 1600
My test shots, both at ISO 400 and ISO 1600 show a typical example of noise sources. If you get above ISO levels, there really is a serious problem.
Overall Overall I am quite happy. Image quality impressed me in most situations.
Shutter Lag
One photo has 0 52 seconds with five fewer than 12 23 seconds. Turning the flash increases to 1 day. 35 seconds for a single photo and 14 59 seconds by five. I would like to have seen faster times for all tests.
It was the Camera 3 05 seconds starts and captured the first picture.
You can compare this camera with other models by taking a look at Shutter Lag Comparison Table .
Style: The SP-570 has really want a compact digital SLR than any other I remember the test. It has a very solid feel in the hand and looks like a compact SLR camera. It is available in black. />
Dimensions: 118 5 x 84 x 87e 5
mm Weight:
445g Batteries: Four AA batteries are required to activate the camera. />
Memory: The camera is compatible with xD cards. Olympus has enough memory to store the SP-570 manufactured about 21 pictures.
Note the ease of use: Good. To the best of digital photography thisOlympus you spend much time trying to use the camera work and offers all the controls on the camera. Olympus has done a good job in placing the various controls at your fingertips. This is a dial on top of the device and the dedicated buttons for focus and exposure lock, burst, and a manual override or automatic focus.
Points I like:
good looks – build quality – Handling – Image quality
where it could improve:
could slow shutter speed
alternative
While there has been testing a growing number of glasses more and more on the market, the longest lens I have in front of the SP-570 , 18x zoom. A camera, I’d say checking out is the Nikon Coolpix P80.
case:
The Olympus SP-570 handles more like a digital SLR than any other I tested. I like the method of rotation of the zoom barrel. Add to that a flash shoe, RAW mode and various manual controls and you have a very good camera for a photo enthusiast.
